An old photo - I forgot there was a dove section on the forum.

We've had them lay a couple eggs, but nothing incubated well enough to hatch.

How stunning! :) If I had the space, I would keep doves. I would love some fantails and some of the more exotic varieties. My grandmother kept doves and through this we share a love for birds. :) Thanks for sharing.
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3

These guys are pretty small and have done well living with peruvian ground and diamond doves in a 5 foot tall cage.
I would be more focused on breeding if people were interested in them. Seems hard to find anyone who is interested in them. The cape doves can become tamed and are calm and quiet. I'd recommend them to anyone who is even slightly interested.

body size is about the same, but the cape doves tail is twice as long.
